A Hudson Valley man confessed he killed someone during a botched robbery attempt. Two others are also charged with murder.

On Friday in Orange County Court, 21-year-old Dejoire Fox of Newburgh pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of a man during a botched robbery attempt in June 2017 in the City of Newburgh.

Fox confessed that he entered an apartment on Chambers Street with the plan of robbing the occupant.

An Orange County grand jury charged two others, 26-year-old Omarrio Morrison and a 17-year-old, both from Newburgh, with second-degree murder and attempted robbery in connection with Diaz-Martinez’s death.

Their indictment alleges that both attempted to commit the robbery and during the attempt, Diaz-Martinez was killed.
